Hello, I'm PerfectSoundWhatever. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Szuters, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 02:13, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- You’re absolutely right and I need to go back and add sources where I can, but a lot of this information has either come from my own personal communication with band members or through owning the physical CDs. I had the albums by my side as I wrote everything. I suppose I could cite the Discogs pages in that case, but as for the questions I’ve asked the members directly, or questions other people have asked and then shared the answers with me (with proof on their end) I don’t know if I can reliably cite.

- @Get Crazy With The Cheese Whiz: Hey, you cannot add information to Wikipedia with yourself as the source. Everything needs to come from reputable secondary sources, like newspapers or books. Think about it this way. If we trusted what everyone said all the time, a vandal could easily edit some article and add false information, stating "it's ok! I know the person!". I'm sure you're telling the truth, but there's no way to be certain of it. Also, please do not use discogs as it is not an acceptable source. Anyone can add information to it. Thanks, please leave a message if you have any questions. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 02:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
